Residents were quickly evacuated and fire crews were able to contain the blaze quickly.

Superior View resident Karen Parker, who lives across the hall from the room where the fire broke out, says she knew something was wrong when she smelled smoke.

"All of a sudden the alarms went off, and I just ran out of my house and took my dog, and knocked on some people's doors and told them they needed to get out. There was thick [smoke] in the hallway and we just could not see-and here we are," said Parker, holding her dog just after exiting the apartment.

The fire is estimated to have caused $5,000 in damage.

The Red Cross is assisting those affected with disaster-related needs.
